The evening will include the GLORIA by Mark Hayes, several handbell selections, and selected Christmas anthems accompanied by orchestra. The concert will conclude with the Colorado premiere of Mark Hayes’ latest composition, Hodie Christus Natus Est — A Carol Fantasia which incorporates three familiar Christmas Carols: Angels We Have Heard on High, I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day and Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.

The FUMC Youth Chorale will be performing Hayes' music at Carnegie Hall a few days before this concert in Colorado Springs.
